This MACC Reanalysis run  (experiment fjw4) was started on 2011-07-19 for the analysis cycle 20080401(-20090430)  running parallel to fbov. The purpose was to correct the problem in fbov with the assimilation of IASI CO data. Main features are:

•  24 h long forecast at 00
• IFS cycle 36R1
• branch: stj_CY36R1_MACC_Reanalysis
• model resolution T255L60; CTM resolution 1.125 degrees x 1.125 degrees, L60
• Blacklist: ec:/std/blacklist/black_ds_maccrea_36r1, ec:/stj/MACC/black_mm_macc_reanalysis_CY36R1, and ec:/std/blacklist/black_ex_macc_nrt_36r1
• analysis resolution T159/T95, using 12h 4D-Var and VarBC
• time period 20080401-20090430
• monitoring plots in /gpfs/scratchrd/ecgems/fbov/obtime/obtime_Retrieved_Gases
• obstat statistics plots in /ws/scratch/rd/ecgems/ps/

• The MOZART CTM (MACC V9) differes in the following points from the version used in the GEMS reanalysis (EXPVER=f026):
  
  • Higher horizontal resolution
  • New anthropogenic and biogenic emissions: MACC D-EMIS (RETRO in GEMS)
  • New fire emissions: GFEDv3/FRP (GFEDv2 in GEMS)
  • Time resolution of fire emissions: daily (8-day in GEMS)
  • Online NOx lightning emissions are slightly reduced
  • Slightly different tracer initialization at the start of the reanalysis
